I thought this picture of Zayne illustrated really well what our week felt like. Happy, crazy, fun, and a whirlwind. I will give a rundown of the week in more detail below, but the opening of Rudino's Pizza and Grinder's went amazing! It is a lot of work and lots of hours for Micah and my dad, but we are having a blast. The Rudino's guys from NC who had been with us for the first week of opening all headed home today. Which means today is the first day on our "own." This is also the first day Micah has left the computer home with me :). Ok, below is a snapshot - in words - of our week.
Monday - The Rudino's guys come into town and we start prepping and making food. Micah and I had a really good friend come for a visit from FL. He was actually in Jackson doing some computer work for New Tribes Mission Bible school and we got to have him up for dinner. It was so special to have him come and see our life here. We got to show him all around the business and he ended up coming both on Sunday night and Monday and got to taste the first pizza. Monday we also had a couple family and friends come into the restaurant. We didn't have much food, but they got to taste a couple things and we had fun just hanging out.
Tuesday - This was the family and friend night. It was a huge success and really fun for us and especially my parents to be able to give back to some of the community for all they have done for our family. We had about 50+ people. Zayne was the biggest success of the night. He got to spend part of the day with "Safta" and then came and entertained everybody at the restaurant.
Wednesday - Official Opening Day! This was a busy day with a steady crowd at both Lunch and Dinner. It was fun as our first order was from the new church we are attending here - Grand Ledge Baptist. I guess all the employees they hired are doing great and learning really quickly. Micah is really good at everything he does and the Rudino's guys were all amazed at his calm, confidence - That's my Man!
Thursday - This day was a bit slower, which gave everyone a chance to catch their breath and work on organizing and getting procedures set up. We still had a pretty steady crowd though and Zayne and I went for a visit to see everyone. Zayne loves going and seeing Micah and walking around the kitchen looking at everything.
Friday - This was a busy day again. It was our busiest day yet and everyone who comes in seems to really enjoy the food. It is a really fun, family atmosphere. Micah didn't get home until 12am and then we stayed up talking until 2am. Zayne woke up at 3 am for some reason and then again at 6am. Needless to say we are a little sleep deprived, but happy and so looking forward to Sunday( our one day off!)
Hope this gives a little into our week!
